Craziest days in my life

Last week durin the beginning of the mid sem break, I went down to KL for some events.
The journey down Ipoh was like a de ja vu coz it is raining cats and dogs like the first time when I follow Wei Shin down Ipoh 4 d CNY. Well, Eddy was really having a good sleep while and Wei shin chat
We arrive in Ipoh at 5.45 pm n went to Gopeng to but ticket. Well, we were unlucky coz the 7pm ticket was sold out. 8 pm will be too late but 6.30 pm rather packed but may be we can manage coz Philip hav to go back to bath, eat, and prepare his bags

So we got to his house at 6pm and he run as fast as possible to do everything in time. I also joined him for dinner. Well his dad sent us to gopeng. Lucky it is just 5 minutes drive away. But bad luck again, traffic was terribly jammed. SO we had to get down on the road opposite in the heavy traffic to walk to gopeng.
Things are just in time for us.

When we arrive, the bus was already finishing letting people out and those leaving for KL are starting to get in to the bus. JUst in time for us to get to our seat.
Few minutes later, the bus starts journey.
The journey was terrible with heavy rain. BUt lucky there weren't any traffic jam in NS expressway.
WE arrived there 9pm. the traffic wasn't as heavy as usual. WE walked through Petaling street to pasar seni Putra line Lrt. Well, we reached my aunts house around 9.30pm
WE were hungry, so I thought of bringing philip to the mc d at ampang park. GUess what. At 10pm, we had to wait for a queue to buy food. there were many foreigners. We were really full with the food. RM10 plus for a supper. Usual price in KL. In UTP RM3 very expensive already. Have to feel the real KL life when We go what.

Then We went to KLCC. I kinda lost my way. I took the wrong turnwhile  searching for the P Ramlee road. Barney n me been there once. just walked past. Though we were tired, but Philip sure look happy once there. It was like a heaven for him. We walked up and down the street but didn't went into any clubs. kuai chai ma

Well, return back around 1am and slept. Next morning, we were suppose to go for the star public speaking workshop at 7.30 am but we woke up at 8.30 am.
WE just brush teeth and didn't bath or anything else dash for it. Well we arrive at sentral at 9.10 am. Ask the taxi to send us there. The taxi guy oso dun know where. He was chatting on his phone as it was heavily raining outside there. Had to star hq to ask where it was.

Cheh. Just as the tun sambathan stop of monorail. wasted time and money. managed to get there by 9.30 am. had to climb 3 floors of stairs to get to the hall. Registered ourself and things just get started. Just in time again.

Next was when it ends. We were suppose to go and watch Nicol playing in the fianl at 4pm. and the workshop ends at 4pm too. aiya. Too bad jesse can't join us as the show was astounding. marvellous malaysian player.

When we got there, she was behind with 0-6. She sllowly climbed up but lose at 6-9. Then she won 9-6, 9-3, but lose 7-9 we were in a rush to go to the Eye of malaysia at titiwangsa park so had to leave at that time. WEll really relief to hear she won in the make or break round. She really can run very fast. Good stamina. Most important she got a good attitude and behaviour. She almost never shout against the decision of the judge compared to Natalie who was always angry. Final round was really tiring her that she also starts to shout in order to release her burden and stress build up sue to tiredness. WIll always remember it.

Next we got back and start to prepare to go to the lake. Jason poan picked us and brought us to a chinese shop to eat. Quite nice claypot rice. THen we met up with the rest of the friends at the lake. Chin Leong, raymond, han zhe, philip and me rode the ferris wheel. VEry big and tall up there. It turned for 6 rounds. at a high price of RM15 per person. It was a German company technology. Really educational to know that its runs on the principle of rotation of a car tyre. Actually it was the same. Got many tyres and the got a high fiction surface of tar road. Rather shocking to see that one of the tyre is running out of its grip. almost broken already. BUt We had some nice time looking at the view of the lake. Got water show by germans at night. WEll luckily we queue early coz huisan, barney, ranae and sim later had to queue from outside of the hut that we queue. from inside already took 1 hour what more to say bout them!

Well this time we ask the rest to go p ramlee road too. Everyone was too happy that they decided that they must sit down to drink if not they can never say they been there before. Well, money was tight on everyones wallet coz thanks to bcb for upgrading their service that all atm is not functioning. They ordered a jug of beer. I just had 2 sip from philip's one. WEll he was too high that he just gullop it down like water. really fast. soon, the effect start to kick out. some got red face, a bit of losing their mind. talking nonsence and laughing to themselve. Lucky I didn't really drink anything much. But raymond order a bottle of water with added co2 gas for 16 bucks.everyone was making a joke of him. Well at such place sure expensive one la.

Then we walked back to KLCC and went in though it was already closed. Look at the bright night. then walked to mc d to have an ice cream. Next day was really relaxing. we woke up late. My anuts and uncle cooked us a western breakfast. Then we went to the pool for a swim. really feel the luxury of life. then we start to pack up.

I decided to follow the rest coz they were heading to utp straight. I didn't went with philip. I went with them to low yat and time square again. what a life.

well it ended up that I couldn't buy a ticket like theirs. SO I just took a bus straight away to Ipoh. the journey was really fast. in just 2 and half hour. I got a taxi to bring me to medan kit and took a bus back to utp.

Destressing time

For the past few days was really taxing on me. Got two test on Friday -physics and chemistry
Wah the test really difficult. I din finish all the questions. For physics I can't think of the connection of the question and the things I had learned but for chemistry I can't remember the formula for freezing depression. What to do??? Lose a lot of mark for leaving empty answer sheet...
I also can't finish reading the my notes for ICIS test. More than 15 questions I can do out of 40. Really bad this time. I guess I will still remain the worst Chinese student for EE course.
My mind can't cram everything up last minutes like chang hua and the rest. I only remember for repetitive actions. In this case I need frequent studying.
Well it was back to the previous sem sleeping hour at 3am and wake up at 7am and just may be half an hour nap in between
I will always remember bout thursday coz got 11hours non stop marathon of class from 8am to 7pm. 4labs and tutorials and 3 hours lectures add up to the total 11 hours. Last week was really freaking crazy. There was really no break at all. I was running from one class to another.
Doing the physics lab report was really difficult as well as I wrote 46 pages for my report and finish a new pen in the process. Well I will surely need more pens if there is more report to go.
Luckily I didn't take up any club activity for organising activities this sem except for my taekwondo class. More time to myself. Well, I was actually reserving it to organise a new leo club here. I just emailed all the lions club in Ipoh to ask whether any of them are interested to sponsor our club.
There will be a lot of things to do once when th club come to existence considering the previous experience I had.
Well, I intend to participate in the Rector cup debate on the end of the month. I had Adonis, Chang hua and Yoke Mun for my EE team. Hopefully there will be time for us to practice for the competition.

New Image

    During the CNY in Kch, I went for a hair cut which eventually changed my look. Maybe by fifty percent. Ever since I got back to uni every one has been staring at me. It takes about a few second for them to recognise me. I guess it was quite sometime for Wei shin to recognise me when he picked me at Gopeng.
    Well, I'm not sure is that a good sign or not. I had this stare from most of my friends. Everyone forgot about me. I remember that the other day I went to get the debate dvd from melissa in v4 cafe. She was sitting with her friends. When I walked closser, almost all of her friends turn back to look at me. Wa lau what the...... I look like a new kid from the block is it????
    Well, I'm used to the stare now. I think everyone also became used to my new look. Actually this is how I looked like back in Kch. I usually had short hair. Get ready for the next shock when I got bald..
    Still considering it because since the wheater is hot and humid it is best not to have hair because always sweat and have to clean it.
    Below are picture of new and old me. Give comment ok.

Old Idiotic look

nEW Ambituous look

Chinese New Year 07

    Its already Chap Goh Mei to night. Fifteen days had passed since the first day of CNY. Really going to miss it a lot. I went back to Kch for CNY. Though only for four days, I felt worth it because it is the only time when met all my friends who were in Labuan and my teachers and ofcourse my family members. No words can describe the moments. The grass is always pasture in the opposite land but the land that one belongs will always be at heart no matter where ones is. That is what it felt like.
    The  spirit of celebrating CNY can be felt even at the KLIA. My flight was at 4.30am on sat morning. But guess what? The flight was fully packed. Most of the people on board are my fellow kuchingite who are studying in peninsular and going back for the CNY. The feeling of seeing my fellow kuchingites can't be described. That is the only time when people will converse in hokkien. It feel like I'm at home. Felt like where I belong to and where I would like to be.
    The wheather in Kch was cooler and as predicted it rains during CNY. Even at this moment the wheather in Kch is said to be rainy. It rained on the Sa Chap Mei until 11pm. Then the rain stops just in time for kuchingite to lit their fire crackers. It seems the sky understand that there are thousands of people went back just to get another nostalgic picture of what it is when CNY come. The sky was fully lit with beautiful and colourful fireworks. The joy of seeing the fireworks flew into the sky and then suddently abrupt into a beautiful fire works is the what it is like. Words of amazement just came after another upon seeing the beauty of it.
    This year, I was much busy attending to my nephews of my cousins. I was carrying them and telling them don't be afraid because they are only around one to three years old. Hamburger or Calvin wasn't afraid as his older brother. He was enjoying watching the beautiful fireworks. He likes to watch the fire crackers lit. Anyway, I managed to drove in Kch at that nite when I went out and the night was misty that I could hardly see anything at all. See the picture below to see for yourself=====
    During that night, my whole family had a sumptous dinner. Fish, veg, pork leg, oyster, prawns,.... All delicious dinner. Really enjoyed it a lot. Its been quite sometime since I ever ate so much. Guess what I managed to cut my weight by seven kg for a month. Well, I gained by one kg for each day that I went back. Now willl take time to reduce it again.
    On the second day I went to my ex tution teachers house namely Mr. Chan and Mr. Chin who were ex students of my high school. The EX Sg. Tapangs. Mr. Chan's  house was full with people so we went to Mdm Annie's house then went back again. Choon Hian, Julie, Dennis, Tien Iou, Yung Khien and me were there. Then Cindy also joined us. We were feated to a sumptous lunch. Very full. Ke lian Tien Iou coz finally can eat after waiting for the whole day.
    Then we went to Mr Chin's house together. Had a nice chat with him and the form six frens were reminded to buck up coz the test is very difficult. Well wish them Good luck. Gambateh!!!! Tien Iou sure can do it. Pelajar Cemerlang WOoooooo. Wah must be very very grand lo. And ofcourse thumbs up to yung khien for being the new head prefect. Work hard k. The previous hard time we went through. Felt very funny when remeniscent back on the daily arguments that we had. Well it is already a past and we became rather good friends after that. Well, its time to pass on the baton to you to lead after all this time. And all the frens who are now prefects with high ranking good luck too. U need the cert just to apply for uni then it will be history.
    Then, on third day, we all went for visitting. At Shi Chien's house there was a battle going on. We were playing the block game. Aiya forgot what is the name of the game. Anyway, it was a heart throbing game. It was a battle of who is going to make it fall. Anyway, round one was me who lose. Then the second round saw jun you losing. He had to drank the water. We all tried to make choon hian lose but he managed to break through. Below are the pictures. Nee ping had to becareful because she had lost before in another game and Zheng loong had to drink for her. If she lose he will have to drink again. Wahhh so loving couple. Anyway good luck in ur matrix in Labuan. Next time but tax free imported chocolate and wine for me k. Though I don't really drink but it is ok.
     Ohya, good luck to Jacky, and Chee Ya coz managed to finish all the hurdles and studying for degree. It was rather a shock to know that only forty people out of more than one hundred managed to continue for degree. Though I didn't help much by writing for ur assignment. And winnie too. Now I understood why u both really thank me for that. Well good luck to winnie though u hav to repeat a subject. Ps tell me if chiang long need help. I will surely help if I can.
    On the fourth day was a hectic day. I was busy rushing around the bank, office department and other places before my flight at 12 noon. I mistook it to be 12.15pm that when I arrived, it was already the last calling. Just in time. I managed to buy kolo mee, mee sapi, kam pua and sarawak laksa for my friends in uni. Well, only kam pua and kolo mee left coz the rest can't last so yeek cho wei shin's family. Next time I will but more kolo mee for ur younger bro since he like it. And oso my fellow uni frens. Sorry Yoke mun and the rest coz the kolo mee kinda went bad. Coz my mom bought it around 10 am and you guys only ate it around 10pm plus. Come Kch and U will taste it. K for those comin Kch for the semester break I promise u guys to enjoy as many kch food as possible and bring u guys to all the fun places.
